Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Hashirama Senju: Hahaha~

Uchiha Izuna: This kid... well, he was indeed mostly eaten by some people's disciples. As for his family members... it was probably eaten by that black-rimmed Naruto.

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

Don't do that!

I am a dignified Uchiha!

Could you give me some highlighter?!

Naruto glanced back at Sasuke.

Seeing his face turn completely red, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Hearing Sasuke's words from the black-framed world, everyone shook their heads helplessly.

poor child.

【Hahaha~】

[Inside the sealed space, the giant fox burst into laughter.]

"Little Uchiha... Hahaha~"

"He would never guess it was us!"

"We only took the scrolls from the Fugaku clan head's family. No matter how rich the Fugaku clan head's family is, they can't compare to the entire clan."

"The Uchiha clan is a super-large clan with considerable assets; after all, they are one of the two major clans that founded the village."

Naruto offered an explanation.

But the big fox wouldn't listen; she wanted to hear exactly what she wanted to hear.

Seeing the big fox laughing so happily, Naruto let her be and stopped correcting her.

At this moment, as everyone spoke, deep-seated prejudices arose against both Konoha and its higher-ups.

[Especially since everyone grew up together, the dissatisfaction is even greater.]

【"hateful!"】

Even my teeth couldn't sit still anymore.

【"Woof!" Akamaru sensed his master's mood and bared his teeth in a somewhat agitated manner.】

"Naruto, what are you planning to do?"

Naruto chuckled softly, signaling Kiba to calm down, then looked at Shikamaru.

[What does Uncle Shikaku think we should do?]

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru pondered for a moment and then said:

"My dad hinted at this to me a long time ago."

"We ninja clans... have been suppressed for years."

"First, there was the Hinata incident; everyone chose to protect themselves then."

"The main issue is the difference of opinion."

"But I never expected...it would end like that."

"I thought this was the limit for the higher-ups."

"It can't get that bad... mainly because it didn't happen to me personally, so I'm playing it safe... and everyone's in competition."

"I never expected...the Uchiha incident to happen so suddenly."

[With that, Shikamaru took a deep breath.]

Looking at Sasuke, he said, "Too fast!"

"This was completely unexpected; overnight...everything was gone!"

"Anyone could guess the Uchiha's intentions... That night, everyone was waiting in tacit agreement."

"They won't help anyone, but if things escalate to a certain point, everyone will step in to stop them..."

"In addition, there was the battle between the Anbu and Root last night, as well as the Konoha Guard, namely the Sarutobi clan..."

"Only then did everyone realize that the Sarutobi clan had unknowingly grown into a 'colossus'!"

[Shikamaru's words were tactful, and he also subtly spoke well of the various ninja clans.]

Tobirama Senju: "Hmph, this kid... as expected of someone from the Nara clan."

Uchiha Izuna: Actually, what he said is not wrong.

Uchiha Izuna: The main thing is that no one expected that some people's disciples could be this bad.

Tobirama Senju: "..."

【call--】

[Shikamaru took a deep breath, and then said:]

"Actually, since the Third Hokage took office... in countless wars, among the ninjas who died on the front lines, besides civilian ninjas, the largest number were us ninja clans."

"The Sarutobi clan also has them, but they are definitely the fewest, and they receive the most resources!"

"The commotion last night really shocked us all. We never imagined that the Sarutobi clan had grown so large."

"You shameless old bastard!" Ino couldn't help but curse.

Shikamaru shook his head and said, "Therefore, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio often choose to remain silent, stand in a neutral position, and be close to the Hokage's lineage in order to minimize losses."

Sasuke's face was grim. After a long pause, his expression filled with murderous intent, he said, "So, the Uchiha clan massacre... wasn't just done by that beast Itachi alone; there was also the shadow of higher-ups involved?!"

"To wipe out an Uchiha clan that was in no way inferior to the Hyuga clan in one night is something that would be difficult for one person to do, and besides, the commotion that night wasn't as big as you imagine."

Neji glanced at the impatient Sasuke, then said coldly:

"I remember that day, Hinata came home late, but it was the Ninja Academy that made the decision to keep your first-year students after school."

"Heh!" Neji sneered.

Those present weren't fools; the principal of a ninja academy is usually the current Hokage.

Therefore, the Hokage's word is law even within the Ninja Academy.

Having said all that, how could Sasuke not understand what Neji meant?

However, Neji did not stop.

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"Those high-ranking officials..."

"Konoha, the greatest ninja village in the ninja world, yet... it wasn't for that weak Hokage, that high-ranking officials who only knew how to fight amongst themselves. How could my father have died such a humiliating death?!"

"It was definitely those guys... Damn it!" Neji closed his eyes in anguish.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

Hinata opened her mouth, but ultimately lowered her head.

Hinata, after so many years of training from Naruto, has long since developed confidence, although she still doesn't show it much when facing Naruto.

But most of the time, he still acts like the young head of the Hyuga main family.

Hinata only lacks confidence when facing Neji.

This isn't about ability or status; it's about feeling indebted.

Therefore, Hinata had long ago made up her mind to grow up quickly, to the point where she had absolute say in the family, to change the Hyuga clan and ease the unseen conflict between the main and branch families.

[Later, he also received Naruto's advice.]

Caged birds aren't all bad; they also have their advantages.

[Hyuga Natsu, Hinata and Hanabi's maid, is a good example.]

Therefore, for a caged bird, it is best to continue existing.

But it absolutely cannot be mandatory.

[Twins, just a few seconds later, have to be branded as caged birds... That's not fair.]

Of course, there are only a handful of main families... the entire Hyuga clan's main family can be counted on one hand.

Naruto gently rubbed Hinata's head, softly comforting her.

Hinata then fell to the ground.

[I can't control it anymore; it's become a habit, an instinct...]

"Calm down first," Sakura reassured everyone.

The atmosphere has been built up to this point.

Many things don't need further explanation.

The presence of the young clan leaders of several major Konoha ninja clans signifies not only their individual contributions but also the ninja clans behind them.

Naruto looked at his childhood friends.

Everyone was looking at him.

Kurenai takes a deep breath.

[Holding the hands of two best friends, one on each side.]

[They're already deeply involved; there's no way to back out now.]

Of course, if you actually ask them to back down, they'll get really angry.

Naruto's lips curled slightly.

"I have an idea..."
